Woman questioned under caution and banned from leaving the country for criticising Mermaids

I was thinking of contacting this lot. There are separate ones for different areas of the country

www.gov.uk/police-and-crime-commissioners

According to the website you can;

^Contact your police and crime commissioner (PCC) to make a suggestion or a complaint about how your local area is policed.

PCCs are elected to make sure that local police meet the needs of the community. Contact your local PCC about:

how your area is policed
the police budget
the amount of Council Tax charged for the police
the information you get about what the local police are doing^

Was it West Yorkshire Police that went after Posie?

thanks xx

There is a woman who has donated who frames herself as a trans-widow.

She has asked to be put in touch with others in her situation.

She may well already be on here, but just in case she isn't, could you put her in touch with the thread linked below.

Thanks.

This made me laugh

If you bother to listen, Mermaids has been, and will always be a great support network for trans people.

Mermaids is a pressure group. We have had more than one parent on here with experience with them, we even had Mermaids staff come on during a conversation about them and doxx the member involved, on here, put their details in AIBU (I believe it was) for everyone to see, just because the member was discussing what a negative experience it had been. A judge has also ruled that they nee4d to stay away from a child due to their behaviour.

Donated.

I'm slightly blown away actually....

I'm really touched.

Myself and DH have donated. I peaktransed him last year and he's appalled at what Posie's case means for free speech.
Posie thanks so much for being brave enough to front this challenge and I hope the CPS don't leave this hanging over you for too long.

Donated- thanks for info on how to change names. Comes to something when apparently hate speech is stating a physical fact. If judge dosnt throw it out of court and give everyone kick up ass I will eat my hat.

I will come back later, I have to go to work right now, and find an email address.
And maybe post what ever I send.

Donated & shared!

The poster you referred to on Sunday in this thread is still here but too worried to post again on the subject. They are a friend of mine. I too have grave concerns about Mermaids. The poster you referred to was relieved that the concerns they raised about the child in the court case were finally confirmed. They of course received no recognition that their concerns were justified and no apology from Mermaids for the way they were treated when raising those concerns.

I’ve donated, it’s the least we can do, it could have been anyone of us instead.

I’m wondering how/why they picked her instead of 100+ other Women, myself included 👁

And if you are on Twitter, please retweet

I think they'd be interested in it from the POV of police conflict of interest too

May already have been posted, but thought I would add it anyway

Have also forwarded the details of Posie's "chat" with the police to my MP, asking for his opinion on the use of police resources....

Elen, it certainly made me think jazz has an impression that sex is “lying back and thinking of America”!

10% already. Excellent.

I have been reading since yesterday, and can't find a way to sum up how I feel. But this is a worrying development not just in regards to the trans agenda but on a much wider scale. Someone says something you disagree with, report them to the police. However TA threats against women seem good to go.

Worked it out - well done Posie, I've put a message on rather than choose anonymous setting in the end.

I have checked the private eye copy I have still, but it's the previous one that has a "gender realignment" cartoon. 1462 in case anyone has it.
This copy has a mention of mumsnet but it's not self Id.
I only buy it occasionally but am most happy to email in and see if I can get the eye interested.

She has been interviewed under caution. No charges have been brought, as yet. She is waiting to hear.

So was Posie charged, and if so, with what?
